Her Happy Bubble.

After a two-year hiatus, Czjai (pronounced as 'see-jay') rekindles her love and passion for writing with The Rebel Sweetheart.

Czjai refers to this blog as her 'happy bubble' - where she lives her dream of becoming a writer, chronicles her life as a wife and mother, spreads the love for makeup and Kpop, UFC and mixed martial arts, documents her food and travel experiences, and shares useful bits and pieces of information on health, home, and life in general.

Be water, my friend - as Bruce Lee would say. Here's hoping you enjoy your stay at The Rebel Sweetheart.

Spotlight | Skin79 Skinny Mirror Pact.

It's back to school for the little man today. And now that he's already in the First Grade, his morning class now starts at 7:30 am. As such, I have to be up really early. As in earlier than the usual. Imagine waking up at 4:30 am just so I can avoid the usual school morning madness - and still have time to do my makeup before we go to school. Haha!

Speaking of makeup, here's my long overdue review of the Skin79 Mirror Pact. I've had this pact for quite sometime now (bought this for Php 700 from Kimchi Jib), but never really got around to using it that much after getting hooked to CC Creams and Etude House's Any Cushion.

Product description, directions, and ingredients at the back of the box. And they're written in English!

It comes in super sleek packaging, complete with a pink protective pouch. You might even mistake it for a flip phone at first glance. (Think Samsung W789 Henessy smartphone or the old school Nokia 6600.)

Super slim design.

The pact has a magnetic closure and a decent sized mirror that swivels 360 degrees.

Flip phone? :)

The exterior of the compact is reflective, and you can use it as a mirror, too. Careful with fingerprints though, as they tend to stick on the surface of the compact. And boy, do they stick a lot.

The exterior gives a clearer reflection compared to the mirror inside the pact.

The pact also comes with a powder puff, though I prefer using my foundation brush when applying the product. I appreciate that the puff has a separate compartment, which is good for keeping it clean and powder-free.

The Skinny Mirror Pact comes in two shades - #21 Light Beige, which is the one that I have, and #23 Natural Beige.

#21 Light Beige.

I was a bit worried that the #21 shade would be lighter than my skin tone, but turns out this shade fits me just right. The powder has a finely-milled texture that doesn't look chalky on the skin when applied. It goes on smoothly, doesn't feel heavy, and leaves the face with a natural-looking, matte finish.

Left, bare skin. Right, with Skinny Mirror Pact.

It's perfect for those days when I want to leave the house without looking 'too made up'. And it's a great mattifying powder for my favorite BB Creams.
